All the time.&#xA;&#xA;Congressmen and women scammed by SBF are weary of “crypto” - and they are right! &#xA;&#xA;We need to be specific&#xA;&#xA;“Crypto council” type constructs are silly. Why should Bitcoin miners have to share a table and discuss fart coin? Completely unrelated to what they do &#xA;&#xA;Huge respect to BPI for pushing in this direction, their name alone means and does a lot&#xA;&#xA;There should be Bitcoin meetings, legislation, working groups etc which exclude affinity scammers or anyone not working on Bitcoin</html></oembed>
